vibration when make left curves
i ran into the curb a while ago and hit the passenger side. the spindle was messed up so i replaced it and i already had an alignment on the car and its fine. but now every time im takin left curves the car vibrates. ive adjusted the coilovers b/c i first thought the problem was with my wheels rubbin against something in the wheel well but the problem still persists. theres seems to be no friction between anything between something in the wheel well and the wheels. im thinkin the problem is the steering arms or the axles but i cant really just tell by taking a look under the car. its occuring no matter the coilover adjustments. please help.

Check your wheel bearings they will do the exact thing you describe. Jack up the wheel and grab the tire at the top and bottom (12&6) and gently wiggle back and forth/ in and out. It should not move at all if you feel it move just a touch then the bearings are bad as long as you're not moving the steering back and forth. Also rotate the wheel a few times and check in 3 or 4 postions to make sure the bearing isn't in a "good" spot as they will alternately go in and out of spec. I have a 93 Acura Legend with 208k and all 4 wheel bearings are bad I have replaced the fronts, but not had time to do the rears, but most of the vibration is gone.
